https://snapdrop.net is my go to for this. Works on any modern browser on the same LAN. Supports files and plain text. Previous HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25524472

This uses relay server i guess ,and doesn't work in nat

I use Syncthing[0] for continuous file synchronization to/from my phone, its pretty nifty. Way more memory-heavy than something like this though. [0] https://syncthing.net/

I made a bash script using rsync and termux notification for file syncing to my laptop

Earlier quoted context omitted.

kde connect is incredible, even for people on gnome. highly recommend

You might already know this, but GSConnect is a reimplementation of KDE Connect as a GNOME Extension

I had a pretty tough time getting GSConnect to work, and consistently. The KDE Connect GUI is pretty clumsy on Gnome, but it works reliably and supports every feature. I do hope GSConnect can get better though

This is what I use too. Amazingly fast and very easy to use.

you can also send a single small file without installing anything thanks to these free services.

  curl -s https://qrcode.show -d https://patchbay.pub/yourname/openshare && curl https://patchbay.pub/yourname/openshare --data-binary @./test.jpg
Highlight the qrcode text to invert colors.

If your console prints artefacts add -H "X-QR-EC-Level: H" or -H "Accept: image/jpeg" > qr.jpg && qr.jpg to open in image viewer.

Another option is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver which is a Rust (Rocket) web server that you can run on a local Windows, Mac or Linux machine. Open a browser and navigate to the machine's IP address at port 8000 to upload/download files from the web form. Works on a LAN or Wifi network without any Internet access.
